I keep hoping they'll do one of these swing-by's only to reveal a city sitting on the side of one of these things.

Tinfoil: they may have already done so multiple times and keep releasing poor-quality pictures of whatever potato they can find in the nearest breakroom kitchen. That vote in Colorado that denied alien tracking funds was a huge blow to the comet city faction of the tinfoil hat people.

(if this were a discussion at my house, by this time, my wife would have quipped, as she so often does, "are you still talking?")

This may be a Jimmy Carter designed facade of a comet that can be reported to be a warning sent here by AlGoreans that our Global Warming is also creating carbon emissions that coagulate into space junk...that will wipe out life on earth, real soon too. And by the way, the science is settled.

Triangle Man...In the UN IPPC lingo 'settled " means an international legal term where A multi Trillion Dollar Slush Fund is Settled upon them like a Trust is settled on its Beneficiaries. So yes they are then effectively retired from needing to work again.

I worked two days as Mr. Peanut on the boardwalk in Wildwood, NJ one summer. Too fuckn' hot, and too much ridicule, for too little money. Clowns feel the same way.

Speaking of clowns, the prof obsessed on Keith Richard's bio. However, I am reading the bio of a real rocker, Jimi Hendrix. Jimi was on tour in a Liverpool pub wearing a puffy pirate shirt and a wild old Brit military jacket, of course sporting his trademark afro. The crusty barkeep wouldn't serve him. Hendrix asked the barkeep if it was because he was black? The barkeep scoffed and said, "Certainly not..go read the sign I just put up on the door." Jimi walked outside and saw the sign, "We don't serve clowns." The circus was in town and the barkeep thought it bad luck to have clowns in his pub.
